Application
This unit describes the performance outcomes, skills and knowledge required to incorporate the elements and principles of design to cosmetic tattoo treatments.
It requires the ability to consult with clients to determine their visual requirements and expectations, and design cosmetic tattoos for lips, eyebrows, eyelids, face, breast areola or scalp accordingly.
This unit applies to cosmetic tattooists who work in salons where cosmetic tattoos are provided on face or body.
The skills in this unit must be applied in accordance with Commonwealth and State or Territory legislation, Australian standards and industry codes of practice.
No occupational licensing, certification or specific legislative requirements apply to this unit at the time of publication.

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
Elements describe the essential outcomes |
Performance criteria describe the performance needed to demonstrate achievement of the element. |
1. Confirm client requirements for cosmetic tattoo design. |
1.1. Clarify and prioritise purpose, main elements and design considerations in consultation with client. 1.2. Evaluate the aesthetics of the cosmetic tattoo designs. 1.3. Undertake research to inform cosmetic tattoo design ideas. 1.4. Develop design ideas for discussion based on initial research. |
2. Explore cosmetic tattoo design elements and principles to inform concept. |
2.1. Generate ideas and designs based on research and analysis. 2.2. Trial designs using the elements and principles of design including the Golden Ratio and Phi Ratio. 2.3. Consider historical, current and future perspectives and trends that might inform designs. 2.4. Propose and decide on colour options in agreement with the client. 2.5. Take account of particular healed results associated with the use of different cosmetic tattoo techniques. 2.6. Propose cosmetic tattoo design and present outcomes in a progressive and logical format. 2.7. Evaluate potential for new approaches based on capabilities of techniques already used. 2.8. Adapt and use relevant ideas and approaches in designing cosmetic tattoos. |
3. Produce simple drawings of cosmetic tattoo designs. |
3.1. Explore ways of representing ideas through application of different techniques. 3.2. Examine technical aspects of the cosmetic tattoo design concept. 3.3. Consider and establish criteria for selecting techniques, tools, equipment, and consumables required for the production of design concepts based on experimentation results. 3.4. Select techniques best suited to represent ideas. 3.5. Select tools and materials required for selected techniques. 3.6. Consider elements and principles of design when selecting techniques, tools and materials. 3.7. Draw ideas using selected techniques. 3.8. Seek feedback from client on proposed design and take action to improve as required. |
4. Develop cosmetic tattooing designs. |
4.1. Determine a cosmetic tattoo design based on knowledge and understanding of different techniques. 4.2. Select approach to cosmetic tattoo which meets established criteria. 4.3. Refine the cosmetic tattoo design according to ongoing experimentation and client feedback. |
5. Identify and evaluate appropriate process and cosmetic tattooing techniques to achieve design. |
5.1. Recognise possible constraints related to design outcome. 5.2. Identify potential techniques to achieve desired outcome. 5.3. Produce sample designs using alternative methods and techniques. 5.4. Evaluate sample designs in terms of conceptual design. 5.5. Identify design limitations and determine approaches to overcome limitations. |
6. Finalise cosmetic tattoo design. |
6.1. Apply elements and principles of design to create cosmetic tattoo design. 6.2. Determine the cosmetic tattoo design using techniques from research and experimentation to meet design requirements. 6.3. Evaluate and respond to potential changes to the required techniques in order to meet the agreed design. 6.4. Refine and finalise the design based on client feedback. |
